A lovely bit of nostalgia for the lover of French cafe life, this porcelain pyrogene promotes quinine-laced Dubonnet, still a great favorite throughout the world, and announces that the aperitif won the Grand Prix at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900. The lightly crackled glaze is the drink's lovely yellow-green shade. In excellent condition, it measures around 3-5/8 inches in diameter and almost three inches high.

A very elegant baluster-shaped jug, the lavish copper-luster surfaces are extraordinarily well preserved. Raised decoration of vines and grapes and flowers float above a ground molded to resemble beaten copped. Each side is further adorned with a central floral nosegay in rose, green and yellow opaque glazes. They only discernible flaw to the piece is some chipping to one of the roses. English, circa 1850. Approximately 7-1/4 inches tall by 6-1/2 inches wide and 4-3/4 inches deep.

Here is way to have your pretzel and drink it too. This realistic porcelain "pretzel" looks hand-twisted and even has coarse porcelain "salt." Beautiful condition. Approximately 5-3/4 inches by 3-1/2 inches. Mustard, anyone?

One wouldn't expect an Austian to know what a Mexican tamale is, but here is a schnappes flask imitating one in porcelain! The "Austria" mark would indicate a time shortly after 1891. Condition mint. Approximately 6-3/4 inches in length by two inches in diameter.
